In this video, Daniel Moth demonstrates features in Visual Studio 2010 that make it easy for developers to debug MPI applications. You can see how easy it is to start using the MPI cluster debugger, which allows developers to easily launch an MPI application
on multiple nodes, set breakpoints,…

Microsoft Excel has become an indispensible calculation, prototyping, and simulation tool that handles complex multi-variable models. A fictitious case study is described where the customer, an insurance underwriter, explores over one trillion scenarios to optimize investments that hedge its…

Stephen Toub walks through several sample applications that utilize Parallel LINQ (PLINQ). PLINQ, built into the .NET Framework 4, enables developers to parallelize LINQ to Objects queries with minimal coding effort. The sample applications explored
are available for download at…

Performance is always of paramount importance in HPC -- clusters can never be fast enough or have too much throughput. Windows HPC Server 2008R2 beta1 provides several powerful monitoring and profiling tools, giving admins the information they need to squeeze
every bit of performance from their…
